Overview

Managing institutional liquidity remains a crucial element of financial risk management at any institution. As external financial realities challenge many treasury offices, cash flow forecasting acts as a strong mitigating strategy for financial risk aversion. Those who are able to more accurately project and plan around cash flows have a strategic advantage in maintaining liquidity strength and investment planning.

Join us for an online training that walks through the critical components of establishing a cash flow forecasting model at your institution. Our expert instructor will walk through key challenges related to administrative collaboration, discuss how to work toward cash flow accuracy, and provide tips on how to design financial strategies around your cash flow forecast.
